We developed a prime editing (PE) strategy by incorporating a 5′–3′ exonuclease activity, which enhanced the efficacy and precision of ≥30-nucleotide DNA insertions without a secondary nick. Our optimization of the PE complex revealed that recruiting the exonuclease via an RNA aptamer outperformed direct protein fusions.
